I wonder how the bronco will be on the road. Driving 10 hours to a trail will really suck if it's full of wind noise. The main advantage of the defender.
Since you are going to work sites, do you actually talk on the phone? I don't think the bronco is going to be great on bluetooth, or even holding the phone to your head. If you do a lot of that, don't get one. If you are looking for a reason to not be on the phone....
I wonder if they offered a few normal interiors, black, grey, tan, with a black dash, what the take rate would be compared to bronze dashes, tan/black seats, with yellow or blue trim. Sigh. Then maybe the brand manager would have the evidence to fire the designers.
I guess depending on the angle, basically you'll have a glowing reflection in the bottom part of the windshield. They actually put a flat black hood decal on the hood to reduce reflections. I'm happy with a tan interior, which this isn't. But I would really prefer a black dash.
Well the tan dash is pretty bad, since you know, I live where the sun shines. Plus the bright blue trim sucks unless your exterior is bright blue. And camo seats? Yeah, not going to happen. I'm waiting for a black top and if the interior doesn't get better I'll move on.
The defender is going to be a lot nicer on road. Not sure why anyone would want to take off their roof with all the dust that will coat everything. But the interior was a step too far on the wildtrack for me. I'll wait for a black roof and if they don't offer a decent interior by then I'll pass.
Don't they have ear buds with noise cancellation now? When I fly I just use regular old ear plugs. Seems all my trips start with a full day of driving on highways.
While they are painting the top, have them paint the bumpers, the flairs, and cowl, and the side mirrors, and the side step mounts. Only way they will match.
You know the cowl has a giant piece of grey plastic too. Seems grey is Fords choice of plastic. The Raptor has the same issue. Fender flares and bumpers were all grey.
200,000 broncos in first two years. Times 5,000 in profit (markup, added fees, undercoating, etc.) = 1,000,000,000 in extra profit for dealers. You really think autonation or penske or any other huge dealer group is walking away from that? Dealers treat people like shit because it works. If...
I'm not sure "leather" is what you think it is. Most seem to be the cheapest cuts, with a pressed in grain, and then it's just painted. Man made stuff is probably softer and longer lasting, plus water proof.
I don't see it that way. If you want to assume the worse, multiply whatever allocation the other formula gets by the residency of the dealer orders. Meaning, the customers that live in their area. So big city dealer "residency" is probably close to 100, lets say 98%. For Granger it is 5%...
